"Reclining Woman" is a painting by Raja Ravi Varma, a celebrated Indian artist known for his works that blend European techniques with Indian sensibilities. Born in 1848 in the princely state of Travancore (present-day Kerala), Varma's extensive body of work played a crucial role in defining and influencing the visual language of Indian painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

While "Reclining Woman" is not as well-documented as some of Varma's other works, it is representative of his style, which often featured the depiction of sari-clad women in a manner that combined the aesthetics of Indian tradition with the naturalism of Western art. In this painting, Varma captures the grace and poise of an Indian woman in a state of repose, her form and attire rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette that highlights his mastery of oil painting.

The composition of "Reclining Woman" may reflect Varma's exposure to European art, particularly the tradition of reclining female nudes, which he reinterprets within an Indian context. The subject's attire and surroundings are typically Indian, and her posture and expression convey a sense of relaxed elegance. Varma's work is often noted for its portrayal of the beauty of Indian women, and "Reclining Woman" is a testament to his ability to capture the subtleties of Indian femininity.

As with many of Varma's paintings, "Reclining Woman" would have been created during a time when Indian art was experiencing a transition due to colonial influences and the introduction of new artistic techniques and materials. Varma's adaptation of European realism to depict Indian subjects made his work immensely popular during his lifetime and continues to be celebrated for its historical and cultural significance.

Raja Ravi Varma's legacy includes not only his paintings but also his contribution to the development of chromolithography in India, which allowed for the mass reproduction of his work, making it accessible to a wider audience. "Reclining Woman" thus occupies an important place in the oeuvre of an artist who played a pivotal role in shaping the visual culture of modern India.
